In a building of less than 1000 square feet, the number of superstars that recorded albums here at the Sun Studio is historical itself.

The Twin Towers architect was Minoru Yamasaki. All though I have never been to these buildings,

they have had an impact on my life, twice. In the 1970's when they were being built, they were topic of

the news almost every day  reporting on the design, the open floor plans, the elevators that did not go to

the top and that they would be known as the tallest buildings. Then again in 2001, when the towers came

down, the impact on my life was heartfelt.  I was no longer just training people in case of  war, I was preparing them to leave for war.

I got to see The Thomcrown Chapel during the springtime when the wild flowers were in bloom.  I

appreciated the way the architect Fay Jonse used nature for decoration of the interior and exterior of

this Prairie school style.  I would like to return to see it during a snowfall.

Located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a large building sits upon a hill and has been a college, a hospital

and a health resort before becoming the Crescent Hotel.  It is known as being the most haunted hotel in

America.  Yes, I have taken a tour of the Hotel, but did not see or hear any ghosts or activity.

I visited The Winchester house in the late 1980’s.  It is described as being a Queen Anne style. 

It was odd to learn that the architect, Sarah Winchester, was “told by a ghost” to continue to add rooms to the home, which she did in grand fashion.

Architect George R. Mann designed the Arkansas State Capitol as a replica of the US Capitol in

neoclassical style.  It was built on the grounds of a prison and when the exterior walls were raised, many prisoners escaped by scaling the adjoining structure.

There aren't a lot of pictures of Domestic Tranquility's cabins online other than the few on their website. My stay in their cabin was so relaxing and unique. Every surface, the floor, the walls, the beams in the ceiling, was made of wood from the owners’ property. The whole family pitched in to build all 4 of their cabins in an adirondack style, but each one was distinct. In the summers, when I stayed there, they had a bonfire each night that guests were invited to. You were right in the middle of the Ozarks’ woods and mountains. At night, you fell asleep to peaceful sounds of the forests, and in the morning you could cook fresh eggs from the chickens they raised. Something about the architecture, maybe a rustic style and country setting, made me feel so at peace, like their name advertises. The wood everywhere and the fireplace make you feel at home, warm and rested. When we left, the daughter waved goodbye as she guided a donkey away from the iron gate.
